Tote Voters OF Yankten.
The undersigned, acting under in
structions from the citizens committee,
submit to the electors Of Yankton the
following statement OF the reasons which
induced the nomination of the ticket
now before the public:
There has been for some time very
generally expressed feeling that in the
election of municipal officers party lines
ought not to be drawn, and this feel
ing has been increased and intensifed
by the evident Tad results. in some
recent cases, produced by adhering to
the practice complained of. It is be-
lieved that intelligent men of ell parties
are unanimous in the opinion that char
acter, ability, and general fitness, and
not party predictions, should deter
mine the selection Of officers to admin
lister our local affairs. Manifestly there
is need, at all times, in the conduct OF
olty affairs. Of integrity, prudence.
sagscity and enterprise, qualities which
are not insured in the individual
aspirant for office, by the fact
that he has large political following.
These considerations are especially for
cible at this time, when our CITY gov
eminent is liable to be called upon to
deal with questions of great commercial
Importance to us all. At such time we
can not afford to assume any risk that
the important interests OF this copamuni.
ty may be committed to hande that are
either feeble or untrustworthy.
Acting upon these reasons, an honest
effort has been made to avoid that risk
by putting in nomination ticket, in
support Of which all can unite, and
which carries upon its face the assurance
Of wise snd public spirited administra.
tien OF public affairs In the ensuing
year.

Ex-Governor Pierce Iu the st. Paul
Pioneer Press:
The legislation of the past winter il
calculated to discourage taxpayers who
have depended on the promises OF
economy which had previously been
made; but let them tske heart. The
year will see rapid increase of popula-
tion, the incoming of new capital, bust.

scarcely feel the effects of the prodigality
witnessed at Bismarck. Legislative
extravagance ls more the fault of the
system than the plen who administer it
Men are elected to pass laws who have
had no experience in the wiles and
tricks OF legislation. They come to
the capital for q sixty-day
session. In that time they
are expected to master the whole science
of government. The last days of the
session approach, and they are piled
with entreaties to vote for this measure
and that. The bills seem fair in them
selves, and amid the general excitement
and rush no one knows ana few have
time to think what the general result
will be. Thus debts are piled up, COM
munities are burdened and money
Isquandered. 1t will always be 30 until
o provision is incorporated in the or
ganic law prohibiting the appropriation
Of money during the last three or -four
days OF the session and giving the gov.
ernor more time for deliberation regard

What Dakota needs more than any
thing else is not an amendment to It'll

public attention at Washington, The
long delay IN naming the commission
has given rise to the rumor that the
president intends TO let the 1st of April,
the day the law is to 60 into effect, pass
without designating the commission the
law calls for. The latest Washington
gossip runs as follows:
The one absorbing topic in Washing
ton continues to be the personnel OF the
Interstate commission. Every man
prominent in business or political life
who comes here is at once seized upon
as . certain candidate for place on the
board and he is interviewed and pumped
until he leaves. w. w. Orapo. of Massa-
chasettD, who was here on Saturday, it
ID learned to-day positively declined the
proHer OF o place. It seems to be the
settled conviction of every one that o
New England man is to be present be-
fore the president can announce the
appointments. The latest to be selected
by common consent is Hon. John W.
Gambler, of Boston, who was mem
Der OF the forty y.seventh congress, MIR.
Gambler only served one term, but dur
ing his service he made an exceedingly
valuable member Of the commerce com
mlttee, which committee at that time
had charge OF the river and harbor bill.
he voted for the passage of that bill
over the veto OF President Arthur and
that vote retired HIM to private life. It
is said tonight that Mr. Gambler can
have place on the board if he will ae-
cept. but his friends here think that he
cannot be induced to do go. With o

board will be practically complete,
though it is said at the white house that
only three members have been definitely

A Glass of Water in the Morning.

According to Dr. Lcuf, when water is taken into the full or partly full stomach, it does not mingle with the food, as we are generally taught, but passes along quickly between the food and the lesser curvature, towards the pylorus, through which it passes into the intestine. The secretion of mucus by the lining mem- branc is constant, and during the night considerable amount accumulates in the stomach, some of its liquid portion is absorbed, and that which remains is thick and tenacious. If food is taken into the stomach when in this condition, it becomes coated with this mucus, and the secretion of the gastric juice and its action are delayed. These facts show the valuc of a goblet of water before breakfast. This washes out the tena- cious mucus, and stimulates the gastric glands to secretion. In old or feeble persons water should not be taken cold, but it may be with great advantage then taken warm or hot. This removal of the accumulated mucus from the stomach is probably one of tho reasons why talk ing soup at the beginning of a meal has always been found so beneficial. -[ New ! York Post.

prOyrcS, in Japan.

It is sad to learn that oac of the sacri- fees which progress requires from Japan is the abolition of the pretty, graceful, and becoming costum, in which tho women cothe themselves. The Times correspondent at Tokio de- clares that the adoption of European garb is not duo to feminine caprice or tho eagerness of millirers alter some new thing. It is part of deliberate policy entered upon by Count Ito, the most sagacious of living Japanese statesmen, and is closely connected with the future wcll-bcing of the country. Japan has committed herself to occidentalism, and she must go on and become QUO of the circle of western nations n all respects. But though tho male Japanese shoots and hunts, and speaks French, and reads MT. Herbert Spencer, and does little on tho stock exchange, the Japan csc woman is still in the oriental con- dition of bondage and ignorance. Jap- anese domestic life, thinks Count Ito, must be revolutionizc l, and tue present arrangements of the Japanese homo rendered this physically impossible. Corscts and ''lrcss improvcrs, and Parisian bonnets will tend to that end. Perhaps s,; but it is pity that a dress, which combines simplicity and grace with the most dcligh full pic. sequences should have to disappear.

COc0anuts for Coin.

They arc worse off for coin in Gu
 lanto, Venezuela, than we are in Pan anna. It appears the people have no coin, and when they want to buy any thing they immediately steal few cocoanuts and hand these over to the traders for the supplies they require. This has led the prcfect of the district to issues degree which is unparalleled pre bably in financial circles. He has prohibited the use of cocoanuts as money and threatens traders with con dign punishment who may receive them as such. R.ther strange way of pro- tccting the palms from the depredations of robbers, who must be a strong backed lot if they can carry about much wealth in the shape of punches of cocoanuts.

Why She AdOred the Minister.

His wife had como to him and said there was S.dear little girl who had injured herself. Shehad been such regular attendant at church. She had such great admiration for Mir. Calthrop she had never missed hearing him, even wading through tho snow. that he ought to visit his young parishioner. He wont. He was met by tho little girls mother, who began repetition of tho story that tho minister's wife had told, as they walked along to the sick-room. There the child lay, propped up, and overheard the last statements from her mother of her own delight in the pastors preaching.
 "Ycs, sir" chimed in the girl, as the minister stood by hes bedside, ''It's beautiful to hear you preach, you holler sop Chicago Hsrald.

Central African Negroes.

The majority of the negroes live on the products of agriculture and stock raising. There are no tribes without agriculture in Central Africa, except the dwarfsh Watwa and Akka. Though their implements are very simple, they clear the dense woods and fence in their fields. H,rse is the most important grain they grow. It is cultivated in all parts of Africa. Sorghum, manioc, and ba- tatas are grown in the lower countries, maize and pulse on the highlands. In Uganda, bananas are the principal food. Stock raising is the favorite occupation of many East African tribes. The herds men are frequently warlike nations who have subdued warliko tribes. The Galla, Wahuma, and Watuta have founded em- pircs of this kind. On tho upper Nile the natives are engaged in both stock raising and agriculture. Cattle, sheep, goats, dogs, and poultry arc raised by these people.
 The most remarkable industry of Af- rica is that of iron working, which is known in all parts, the bushmen alone being unacquainted with it when they be- came known to the Europeans. The Africans know how to obtain the iron from the ores, and manufacture beauti- full instruments of it. B.sides iron, they manufacture copper implements and make copper and iron wire. The negroes do not know how to tan skins, but soften them by scraping and beating; neither do they practice the art of join ing wood; while carving, plating, and weaving are highly developed.
 The civilization of the negroes is not at all low one. Their mode of life, their industry, anl their political in- stitutions are ample proof of this. Large empires founded by men excelling on intelligence and character, and extensive migrations of energetic nations, are characteristic of it's history. The ob- servations of all explorers show that arts and industry are far more devel- opcd in the interior than near the coast. Here, as everywhere else, the contact with nations of higher civiliza- tion, the whites and Arabs, tends to destroy the native culture. Here the ruthless Arabian slave-hunters devastatc regions which were fourishing before their arrival, and the final destiny of the Africans will depend to a great extent on the end of the final struggle between the whites and the Arabs. l --I Science.
